Look up at 11: Planes to fly over Sacramento hospitals as Cal Fire salutes coronavirus responders
Cal Fire plans to salute health care and emergency medical service workers, as well as firefighter and law enforcement officials, who have responded to the coronavirus pandemic by way of a flyover Thursday morning in Northern California.
At least four Cal Fire aircraft — two planes and two helicopters, will depart from McClellan Airport starting about 11 a.m.
The flight route will then proceed on the following route, with times approximate.
▪ 11:06 — flying past Sutter Roseville, after traveling east along Interstate 80
▪ 11:07 — flying past Kaiser Roseville
▪ 11:16 — flying past UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento
▪ 11:17 — flying past Sutter Medical Center in Sacramento
▪ 11:18 — flying past the state Capitol
▪ 11:20 — flying over Tower Bridge and over the California Highway Patrol Academy in West Sacramento
▪ 11:21 — flying past Cal Fire’s business services office building
▪ 11:30 — returning to McClellan
Similar flyovers have been organized and flown over Sacramento’s downtown skyline in recent weeks, including planes from the 9th Reconaissance Wing of Beale Air Force Base.
